HOBART, OKLAHOMA, FRIDAY, JULY 28, 1906
NT TREAD ON THE LAWN.
Posters have been distributed, and
placards posted in certain parts of old
Mexico warning all Americans and for-
eigners to leave the country on or be-
fore the 16th day of September.
The circulars set forth t e fact that
the foreigners have the ownership and
control of tho railways aud mines, and
that the wages paid to the natives is
much teas than that paid to tht> Amer-
icans.
The News-Republican don't dou^t
that ut all, and can readily sec why the
Auieriean.should be paid more.
The editor of the News-Republican
spent some two years in old Mexico,
and has visited the republic on four
different occasions.
He never saw a Mexican that could
earn a penny where an American could
earn a ten-dollar bill. As workmen,
thev.are absolutely untrustworthy and
stubborn. TLey can live on three cents

that soon will you sc the downfall of
the Mexican republic.
The editor of the News-Republican
wrote a series of letters while visiticg
in Mexico a few months ago, and at that
time predicted that it was a question of
but a very short time when the native
Mexicans would revolt, and possibly
throw the country into the throes of
w r. The Americau owns everything
in the republic that is worth having,
and is buying everything that looks like
it ever would be worth anything.
In a good many states in the republic
the American die fates who .-hall be the
law-maker.
It is only natural that the middle
class should want to get rid of the for-
eigner.
September 16th in Mexico is the same
a? the Fourth of July in the United
States. They celebrate, and in a way
that gives the United States cards and
spvies. Everybody gets drunk on
pulque, aquadiente. tuuscal, tequila
and other native drinks, and riot and
murder run rife.
The best thing for Uncle Sam to do is
ti simply tell those greasy devils down
there that they must keep off the lawn,
or we'll take en. in.
Tell them ri?ht now, too. If it is n->t
done cow, it is as sure to come later ,i«
there is a Mexico, and tetter do it be-
fore W' ,o?e tbe lives - f any Americans.

There seems to be a great deal of dis-
satisfaction up in the first district, com-
posed of the counties of Grant, Kay,
Garfield, Noble, Pawnee, Kingfisher,
Logan, Payne, Lincoln and the Osage
and Kaw Indian reservations, on ac-
count of the call for an early nominat-
ing convention for a congressman.
A great many claim that the move
was fathered by McGuire, and that he
used the territorial committee to fur-
ther his own interests, regardless of the
destiny of the other congressional dis-
tricts or the state ticket,
McGuire has earned a reward. He is
entitled to it. He fulfillad his promise
to the people of the state and procured
statehood. He was idolized when he
returned to Guthrie, and entered the
I city in triumph and honor. Everybody
! was shouting "McGuire," and every-
i body was ready to give him whatever
he asked. He at that time had the con-
gressional nomination cinched. He may
! have it ciucbed now.
But to a man down here in the re-
mote southwest in a democratic strong-
hold, who is looking after the interests
of the republican party from the atate
end, it looks like mighty poor politics,
not for the party alone, but for Mc-
guire himself.
Cau it be possible that the opposition
to McGuire was so intensely magnified
that he became so frightened that his
mind went astray and he had the early
cjovent on called for fear the opposi-
tion would gain enough strength to de-
feat him?
That could not be possible, could it?
In the opinion of the News-Republi-
can, McGuire should not have become
alarmed. Perhaps he was ill-advised
as to the situation. Maybap bis long ,
s. j urn in Washington deterred him
from framing out the proper political
ideas.
At any rate, McGuire had control of!
I
the commitb, at th- r meeting last
Monday, and had be ex; • -ssed a desire
that the nominating co ventions be
held the following M ndav. tbejr would
have been held on that day.
Mciiuir &as opposition in :•. llr-t
district, as everybody knows. It 1 k-d
like be advised the committee to rill,
aa early convention in order to capture
the nomination before the others orga-
nized their forces.
The News-Republican does not think
that a force could have been organized
in that district in a year to have de-
feat McGuire, and had he kept his
hands off the committee meeting he
would have gone through with flying
colors.
Now tbe situation is different.
The opposition against him is strong,
and his actions in Guthrie only tend to
make the other fellows more active, i
We believe that he has less chance
for nomination now than before the
Guthrie meeting.
There is liable to be a such a con-
certed effort on the part of the anti-
McGuire faction in the firstdistrict that
the results that will immediately follow
will lay McGuire on the shelf for all
time to come.
Up in Geary the preachers have
threatened to buy their muslin and can-
ton flannels, bibles, testaments, song
books, etc., from Sears-Robuck and
Montgomery Ward, if any mother's son
of the merchants of that place sign a
petition for a liquor license. That is
the first time in the life of the News-
Republican that it ever heard of a
preacher depriving a man of his rights
as a man and taxpayer. Geary preach-
ers, however, call that Christianity—
not so in Hobart. Our preachers are
too broad for that.
bert will be the democratic nominee
for the constitutional convention.
Either would give the republicans a
hard race, notwithstanding the district
will be made republican, based on the
last McGuire-Matthews' vote.
The News-Republican lake was
threatened with a rise last night, but
the rain was not hard 'nough. The

they will White WRsb the Lake.
